Answer:

x = 113°

Explanation:

Given that m || n, and that m < x° and m < 113° are alternate exterior angles:

The Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem, or AEA Theorem states that, "If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then alternate exterior angles are congruent."

Therefore, m < x° and m < 113° are considered as congruent angles or are equal in measurement.

x = 113°.
